• On arriving home, immediately place the frozen food in

the appliance.

• Avoid or minimise temperature variations. Observe the

expiry date on the packaging.

• Always follow the storage instructions on frozen food

packages.

Note:

• Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. Do

not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has

thawed. Once cooked, the food can be refrozen.

• In case of a prolonged power failure:

Do not open the appliance door, except to place

ice packs (if provided) over the frozen foods on the

APPLIANCE DEFROSTING

The appliance should be defrosted when the thickness of

ice on the walls reaches 5-6 mm.

• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

• Remove food from the appliance and put it in a very cool

place or a thermally insulated bag.

• Leave the appliance door open.

• Remove the internal defrost water drain plug (depending

on model) (Fig. 8).

on model) and reposition it as shown in gure 8.

• Use the separator (depending on model) inside the

product as a recipient for any remaining water, (D) as

shown in g. 8. If there is no separator, use a shallow

container.

• Defrosting can be sped up by using a spatula to detach

the frost from the appliance walls.

• Remove the frost from the bottom of the appliance.

• In order to avoid permanent damage to the

appliance interior, do not use pointed or sharp

metal instruments to remove the ice.

• Do not use abrasive products or heat up the interior

articially.

• Dry the inside of the appliance thoroughly.

• Ret the plug after defrosting.

CHANGING THE LID LIGHT BULB (if provided)

• Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply.

• Remove the diuser by following the sequence of steps

shown in the gure.

• Unscrew the light bulb and replace it with an identical

bulb of the same wattage and voltage.

• Ret the diuser and plug in the appliance.

Our support team searches for useful product information and answers to frequently asked questions. If you find an inaccuracy in our frequently asked questions, please let us know by using our contact form.

If I want my freezer to be colder, should I choose for a higher or lower setting? Verified

With most freezers a higher setting means the machine will cool harder. With a lower setting, the machine will cool less hard and the temperature in the freezer will be higher.

How often should I defrost my freezer? Verified

For optimal use of the freezer it is best to defrost it once every 3-6 months. Ice on the inside of the freezer reduces the available space and increases the use of energy. The thawing process can be accelerated by placing hot water in the drawer or placing bowls of hot water in the freezer.

What does NoFrost mean? Verified

Freezers that have NoFrost technology can keep the air in the freezer dry, resulting in less ice forming inside.

I bought a new freezer, can I turn it on immediately? Verified

No, the freezer needs to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before it can be turned on. This is because the coolant liquid needs to settle.

How long does it take for my freezer to reach the set temperature after I turn it on? Verified

This depends on the size, age and model of the freezer. It may take several hours to 24 hours for the freezer to reach the set temperature. The process can be accelerated by placing non-perishable goods in the freezer.

De door of my freezer will not close properly, why is that? Verified

The two most common causes are that the freezer is not level and that the door seal is damaged or has food remains on it. Make sure the freezer is level and check the door seal. Replace the seal if neccesary.

There is mold on the rubber seals of my freezer, what should I do? Verified

The rubber seals are not actually inside the freezer and are therefore warmer. This allows bacteria to grow and mold to form. Clean the rubbers regularly to prevent this.
